I think you need the whole system to be working on your real address
instead of localhost, ie backend working on the real IP, mysql
listening on the real IP etc etc.

Can be a bit of a mission, <rant> why does it default to localhost
when the moment you want to add another frontend or do network control
it needs to be reconfigured? </rant>

What distro are you using. Mythbuntu has good ways of changing all
this, if you do it right.
